The detail panel mixed four stock lucide glyphs from four different
weights and frames, and the title bar's "+" and "..." were the stock
thin cross and three stroked r=1 rings sitting next to the app's own
filled dock tiles. Side by side that read as glyphs from unrelated sets.
Thirteen icons now share one spec: stroke 1.9, corner radius 2.6-3.2, a
3.2->20.8 optical span on both axes (circles widen a little, since a
round shape reads smaller at equal geometry), and every node filled
rather than stroked -- a stroked dot hazes over below 16px, which is
where the stock ellipsis and list bullets fell apart. "+" is the one
departure: a bare cross has no enclosing shape to carry weight, so it
runs 2.4 on a tighter span.
Two shapes changed metaphor rather than just proportion: Info drops the
circled "i" -- the most-drawn icon there is, and one that says "help" as
readily as "details" -- for a panel with two lines written in it, a
picture of what the tab opens; Changes drops lucide's long arc slung
between two floating rings for an actual commit graph, which also fixes
the 11px branch mark on every sidebar row.
The override is keyed on the asset *path*, and `icon_named!` derives
`IconName` from those same filenames, so each arm redraws its glyph
app-wide rather than only in the panel. Two consequences are handled
here rather than left to discover:
- `folder` and `file` are redrawn too. Overriding only `folder-open`
would have split the file tree down the middle -- expanded rows on
the new spec, collapsed rows and every file still stock.
- the Settings nav's About row keeps its circled "i", now carried by
its own `circle-info.svg`. There the glyph labels a section, and a
document shape says nothing about *About*.
Because the paths resolve on their own, the glyphs need no call-site
changes: `Icon::new(IconName::Search)` already renders the new art.
Call sites stay on the typed enum rather than stringly paths, which a
rename would break silently.

A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty

Why
- Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
- Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume
